Country data is aligned by stage of the outbreak. Day 0 equals the first day 50 deaths were reported.

Source: ONS, NRS, NISRA, Public Health England, Johns Hopkins University. Daily reporting of UK deaths is for hospitals only and may lag by up to several days. ONS, NRS and NISRA reporting of UK deaths for all settings is based on information from death certificates, and therefore lags daily hospital data. International reporting procedures and lags are unclear, so may not be comparing like-for-like. Deaths are reasonably accurate, but international reporting procedures and lags are unclear, so may not be comparing like-for-like.
